I am really hoping that someone can shed some light for me as to the intensity and work load of either the Valencia Advanced Standing Track LPN to RN bridge program or the Excelsior online LPN to RN program. I am currently an LPN student set to graduate in 2 months and am trying to decide which route to go. I have 4 prereque's completed to contribute to either program. Ive heard conflicting answers about Excelsior.... can it be completed in 6 months or is it more like 18? How intense is Valencias bridge program? How long should I expect to study per night/week? Is it realistic to work 30-40 hours while in either program? ANY info you could offer is greatly appreciated :)
